But don't carry any of those 8 on the roof! Now, since we are in the tongue
in cheek part of this serious discussion, roof racks, tires, gas cans on the
roof all get you reduced mileage.  I might suggest one of those truck air
spoilers in case you do carry really big kayaks etc. on your roof! How about
skinny-er tires, aerodynamic mirrors, slamming the vanagon, etc. to reduce
your drag coefficient?
